Re: FFS call a time out!

Another one for you J David - not a major one, but as you're looking for examples:
http://cust12.myfootballnow.com/watch/432#87077
Full timeouts available - just before half time
30 secs to go on 1st down at opp. 20 yard line.
Throw to the 12 yard line, 25 secs remaining - 2nd down
Instead of calling a TO immediately, lets the clock run down to 2 secs and goes straight for the FG
Easily had time for 2 more plays there...

Another example:

CAR is calling timeouts as if they WANT TB to drive down and win.

Instead of letting the half end, GB calls a timeout to give DET another play.

My opponent is driving and so we call our 3 timeouts to allow them to run more plays?
http://mfn6.myfootballnow.com/watch/2740#544212
BTW, all three of my timouts were used and then the driving team used theirs, giving them time to score a TD. That is frustrating!

This literally has cost me 1 game so far when the same thing was done in a different league.

Also: Why would my team burn all 3 timeouts with 13 min to go in the 4th QTR?

Not sure why the coding for this has regressed but it would be nice to see it fixed.

Thanks David :--)

Still not working I'm afraid.

Play finishes with 41 ticks on the clock, 2 TOs remaining, we're in FG range and can afford to run or pass one more time, but no TO is called. Inexplicably the play clock runs out and we lose the game by 1 pt.

That was an interesting one, you got caught between two logic concepts - another patch going up today.
